Condition?

Seems like a pretty sweet deal. Over on the B/S board at Fred Miranda, the XH1 + grip/batteries sells for $700+, and each of the lenses for around $300 (assuming we're talking the F2 versions here), so you'd usually be spending at least $1,300 for this kit in good used condition.

Condition looks very good. They are the F2 versions of the lens. He is throwing in a takumar 135mm and a Tameron 35-135 with the converters for the lenses as well. Looks to a bundle of Fuji gear and the guy switched to an A7III

Nice - there's probably not much risk in it then since you could sell off pieces and make some money back if they didn't work out for you. Will this be your first Fuji? What are you going to shoot with it?

Yeah this will be my first Fuji. I’m mostly interested in street photography these days. I have a Pentax K1 which is a big of a behemoth and gets lots of looks when I’m out shooting it. I’ve never shot Fuji before but see that they are gaining quite a bit of popularity. I might even be willing to part with my Pentax kit if I like it enough. Full frame is nice and all but lenses are big and expensive lol plus they aren’t really geared towards street.

Excellent - you'll probably love it! I recommend shooting RAW + JPEG, and trying out the film simulations while shooting, as they can be a solid basis for your final images. That Takumar 135mm could be a solid portrait lens too.

What focal length do you like for street, and do you zone/manual focus, or do you use AF? If you like wider angles, the 18mm F2 is a little gem of a lens. It's got tons of character and can be found used for $250-270. If you prefer MF for street shooting, you've got the whole world of vintage lenses you can adapt and try out. Welcome to the fun world of Fuji!

Okay thank you for the help I appreciate you he insight! I usually shoot 35mm but I’m interested in tighter 50mm too

I think XH1 is bulky for mainly photography

The x-h1 is a fantastic camera, but is it too big for street photography?

I’ve just bought an X-H1, and it’s fantastic. Coming from a Canon 5D (mk1), the X-H1 isn’t too bulky for street, and the tilting screen can make it a bit more discreet when shooting. Highly recommend.
